So I killed something - ETA rewire gone wild

[latief]

I rewired my ETA as it was terribly corroded...(terribly is an under statement here) ...there was no insulation left in there, and i am surprised my my cruise control was even working.....

I was very meticulous, wire by wire i desoldered each, and replaced one at a time to make sure everything goes into the correct location on both ends....

so i plug the newly rewired ETA into the car, and start it...it starts funky, but then settles down. when i hit the gas at idle, it revs up but seems to remain revved after that (idle does not go down to normal as if it still getting gas).....I had to travel next morning, so I leave the car and decide to figure out whats wrong when i return from my travel...

Came back tonight , start the car....Nothing, engine turns over but nothing is happening..i do smell gas though

so, here is what i am thinking:

1-even if something went wrong with the rewire, engine should start as the eta is responsible for cruise and idle quality on this car....am i correct with this?

2-could the butterfly be stuck closed or something? is it possible that the car is suffocated due to the butterfly remaining shut? i can hear is clicking when i press the throttle cable by hand under the ETA....

3-drained battery due to rewiring/grounding issue?

4-OVP died due to wiring problem?

how do i even begin to address this? of course buying a new ETA at this point is out of the question.....

Gurus, some help here....

thanks
